No More Badmouthing

The Philippines famous TV host and comedian Mr. Joey de Leon guesting on ABS-CBN TV program “The Buzz” to promote his movie “Won’t Last A Day Without You” becomes a trending tweets on the world famous micro blogging site Tweeter on regards to Philippine tweets. This is so because Joey de Leon is known in the Philippine Entertainment industry that badmouths openly on his own shows on the rival network of ABS-CBN, which is GMA channel 7,shows on ABS-CBN particularly their rival noontime shows from Magandang Tanghali Bayan (MTB) to Wowowee and even on ratings game, whereas, he is a former TV host and star on ABS-CBN then before his noontime show “Eat Bulaga” transfer to GMA channel 7.Thus,his guesting on an ABS-CBN show recently at the “The Buzz” was a big surprise for most Filipinos who know him.

According to him on his interview with Ms. Toni Gonzaga on the ABS-CBN show “The Buzz”, he already want to erase the loyalist-type attitude whenever TV station he may be; no more “Kapuso,””Kapamilya”,or “Kapatid” mindset.For according to him, he learned something from being part of almost every TV stations in the Philippines from RPN channel 9 to ABS-CBN channel 2 to GMA channel 7 and now to TV5 channel 5 and realized they are all His’ and all have made him what he is now.

Thus, he is now guesting on an ABS-CBN show no more with a bitter heart and a bad mouth, to promote his latest movie, ”Won’t Last A Day Without You” wherein the movie he is promoting is produced by ABS-CBN by its film production Star Cinema.

This is actually a good step for him to cleanse some of his bad image that have linger on the memories of some Filipino viewers by his badmouthing activities then on public TV, into a renewed and truly wholesome Joey de Leon which is he tries to project since then as a Philippine comedian.

Speaking of badmouthing rival shows on one’s own TV show, a young matinee idol is following this step without a spark of consciousness that it could tainted his sweet and heartthrob image on the Philippine Entertainment industry.

The young famous actor I am talking about is Mr. Richard Gutierrez, who unknowingly spews“fucking” words that will screw up his sweet and heartthrob image on his Reality show “Survivor Philippines” by comparing his show against the rival reality show on other network. The rival reality show he has badmouthed on his own reality show is the Pinoy Big Brother.

Here his statement: “If you want pampering, and total safety join that fucking Pinoy Big Brother! This is survivor!”

He said this to Team Tala on his show “Survivor Philippines”. However, on the second thought, is his statement a part of the script he just acting as an aggressive host on an aggressive show? If so, still the script writers have put Richard Gutierrez on the bad light by speaking up a bad word (“fucking”) against the rival show. But if not since his show is a reality show, it could be his own words, then he is guilty of badmouthing a rival reality show. So far, Richard Gutierrez hasn’t yet commented on this issue.

Actually, badmouthing a rival show on one’s TV show on public is a projection of one’s insecurity on one’s TV show against the rival show on other rival network or TV station, because the rival shows have something that rocks the status quo of one’s show, like TV ratings or public viewership and sponsors.

Badmouthing another rival show is an easy yet bad way to get notice from the public and raise one’s show’s TV ratings or viewership using the high ratings of the rival show through casting something fishy against it.
